About 20 Little Black Cormorants (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) dominate the fishing in Tyto's new lagoons these days.
Birds hunt in a pack, often diving and resurfacing in near unison.
But togetherness stops at sharing the spoils. Taking the catch ashore is best strategy.
Get the fish lined up head-first for the swallow.
In it goes, ready for the final gulp. Then, quickly back to rejoin the pack.

Hi Tony
I have not been checking blogs, (your or anyone's) for several weeks. Too busy.
I missed it, though.

Great sequence of shots there, especially the swallowing images.
Loved the "pack" swimming together.
Cheers
Denis
Hi Denis: Thanks. I understand busy, though my interests are rather narrower than your worthy work. Keep it up!
